Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 567 Weakening the Opponent

In his previous life, Chu Xiangqian had heard of the desert tyrants' method of using a camel to tether a sheep, a sheep to a chicken or a goose, and then tether the goose eggs to eat, but when he actually saw it, he was still a little shocked.

At the same time, he also knew that this was the highest courtesy given by the Hajak family.

As for whether it tastes good or not, it all depends on the cooked goose meat and the sauce. Unexpectedly, it tastes pretty good.

After dinner, it was already past 9 pm, when Chu Qianqian was chatting with Bhagwal, Singh, his son, and three bloody horse owners.

Because I understand the local language, there is no problem at all in communicating.

And his deliberate move to learn the local language also made everyone very happy.

Some issues were solved just by talking.

It didn't take long for the contract to be ordered verbally for another 10 bicycles, 10 radios, and 5 watches.

At first, the business was only negotiated with Bhagwal and Singh and his son, but after involving 1 tons of rice per month, the business expanded to seven or eight local dignitaries.

Then these people collaborated to buy three blood horses, one male, two females.

As for sewing machines, as Chu Xiangqian had estimated before, desktop sewing machines are not popular among Tianzhu people who like to sit on the floor.

Chu Qianqian thought about it and let it go. Anyway, sewing machines are actually the least profitable. If they don't sell, they won't sell them.

The watch cost 5 yuan more than the first order, so the total contract amount became larger, and he earned more money.

After negotiating the contract for bicycles, radios and watches, we talked about sweat and blood again.

Three horse owners who bought three sweat-blooded horses, one male, two females, and now wanted to buy a few more sweat-blooded mares at a price of 3 pounds. Chu Xiangqian changed the subject without even thinking.

If this wasn't Tianzhu, someone else's territory, he would have refused directly.

Bhagwal and Singh, the father and son, and three partners also knew that the current price of the bloody horse in Chu Xiangqian's hands was at least 3 pounds.

I regret not being able to bite the bullet and buy a few more horses last year, but I also know that regrets are useless.

We can only talk about food.

Chu Xiangqian became interested when he heard that he could provide 2 tons of rice every month.

The order previously negotiated with Bhagwal and Singh was for 1 tons of rice per month at a price of HK$0.22 per kilogram of rice.

This price is naturally much more expensive than wheat, but the prices of rice and wheat are inherently different.

Moreover, when wheat is ground into powder, there is loss.

The shelled rice is different. How many kilograms of rice are bought and shipped to China for practical use. The same number of kilograms.

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian looked at everyone and asked, "Can I understand that 1 plus 2 tons will sell me 3 tons of grain every month from now on?"

Bagwal hurriedly shook his head, "Only 3.2 tons, the price is still 0.22 pence per pound, equivalent to Hong Kong dollars per pound."

Chu Xiangqian wanted more, but unfortunately he also knew that these Tianzhu people in front of him were just local snakes. At most, they had some influence in Odisha and several surrounding states.

In the past five months, 5 tons of rice have forced them to purchase rice from other places.

However, although it has not been able to increase to 3 tons, at 2 tons per month, just shipping to Hong Kong Island can earn about 15%.

Not to mention, selling it to China can also save many people.

For 2 tons, that is 880 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 55 pounds.

Chu Qianqian silently calculated the 212 million pounds he still had in his hands.

The reason why he still has so many pounds is because he made 86 pounds directly from selling tiger bone wine and deer gum to Norton in the past few months.

In addition, Philips sold a white tiger and earned 30 pounds.

And since we have business dealings with England, we still need to keep some pounds on hand as backup.

This avoids having to convert US dollars or Hong Kong dollars into pounds when necessary.

This accumulated 212 million.

With an additional £8, four batches, or 4 tons of rice can be purchased.

Chu Xiangqian secretly said that it was not a good deal. After all, 220 million pounds converted into US dollars was 880 million, which could buy 22.7 tons of wheat from Magnesia.

Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly remembered that if nothing happens to Tianzhu next year in 62, he would still take the initiative to provoke the Celestial Empire and even start a war.

Once the war begins, both China and Tianzhu will have to consider logistical issues.

The more grain Tianzhu produces this year is bought, the less potential they have to start a war next year.

Moreover, Odisha is located in the central and eastern part of Tianzhu, and the surrounding states are equivalent to the central and northern part of Tianzhu.

It will be more difficult to mobilize military rations next year.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian agreed without hesitation.

And the second batch of 10 bicycles, 10 radios, and 5 watches are on order.

The bicycles are sold to Tianzhu at a unit price of 12 pounds. 10 bicycles are 120 million.

The radio and the watch cost the same, £10 each, which is another 150 million.

This 270 million only requires an additional 5 pounds to purchase 5 batches of rice, totaling 10 tons.

Report this matter to the second elder. I believe that from his perspective, he will never think that he should not purchase these rice.

Not to mention, the rice can be eaten as soon as you buy it, which can solve the problem of food shortage.

Seeing Chu Qianqian agreeing, Bagwa, Singh and several other Tianzhu people looked happy.

Their idea was the same as when they purchased the first batch of light industrial products, that is, they did not want to pay in cash.

And by exchanging rice, you can also make a fortune from purchasing rice.

Now it has increased to 2 tons per month. The idea is basically the same as before. By the way, the price of sweat horses is slightly lowered and a few sweat horses are purchased from Chu Xiangqian.

The subsequent negotiations went extremely smoothly, and the total price of the second batch of bicycles, radios and watches was 270 million pounds.

10 tons of rice is 275 million tons.

If he wanted to buy three more sweat-blooded mares, Chu Xiangqian would only pay 3 pounds, with a unit price of 27.5 pounds.

In the end, Chu Xiangqian had to be given 11 tons of rice. However, Bagwal and others had to pay for the freight. After all was calculated, Chu Xiangqian actually did not suffer a loss.

The first delivery of 3 tons of grain will be followed by 2 tons per month. The contract period is also five months.

After the negotiation was settled, we just drank and chatted. Before we knew it, it was 11 o'clock, and everyone dispersed.

Return to the annex building specially reserved for Chu Xiangqian, Linda, Alyssa, and the three bodyguards Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Billy, and Tony Jia.

As soon as Chu Xiangqian entered the building, Zhang Tianzhi walked over quickly and whispered, "Boss, I just saw that there are more than twenty male servants in the manor, and rifles have been distributed to patrol the surrounding area."

Chu nodded forward, tits had already discovered this.

Just by looking through the tits and seeing these male servants patrolling the highlands and under the walls of the manor, I knew that things might not be peaceful here.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't care. As long as tanks weren't coming, even if there were hundreds of enemies, it was just a gift. When I returned to the room, I wanted to have a good intimacy with Linda and Alisa.

Unexpectedly, when I went up to the second floor, I saw that in addition to Linda and Alisa, there were two young and pretty girls. They stood up with Linda and Alisa with blushing faces. Salute to yourself.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought, could these two be the ones Linda said when she was in Hong Kong Island and wanted to introduce them to her cousins?

Sure enough, when Linda and Alyssa stepped forward and took off their suit jackets, they whispered, "My dear, their names are Lina and Liya.

If you nod, they will live here tonight.

When I return to Hong Kong Island, I will buy them another apartment opposite the house where Alyssa and I live. "

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at Linda, "Forget it, I already have enough women around me."

Alyssa said nonchalantly, "If you don't take them away, their parents won't have enough dowry to accompany them. When the time comes, they may live worse than servants in their husband's house."

Chu Xiangqian thought to himself that it was none of his business.

But then I thought about it, it was not easy to get a dowry. Ten thousand US dollars per person was enough to make their dowry rich.

But thinking about it, the two of them seemed not worth the price.

Linda probably guessed what Chu Xiangqian was thinking, "Give them money and let them stay with you for a while, why not buy them a house on Hong Kong Island and then help me and Alyssa.

Besides, when they adapt to life on Hong Kong Island and can help my Alisa handle business matters.

They get paid for their work, and they can still serve you on a daily basis. No matter what happens, after ten or eight years, they have saved enough money, whether they live in Hong Kong Island or return to their hometown. "

Chu Qianqian glanced at Linda in surprise, but saw her smile bitterly, "It's better than being rejected by the husband's family after they get married, or even being beaten and scolded by the mother-in-law all day long."

Alisa on the side also echoed, "Just let them stay with you for three to five years, and you give them a house on Hong Kong Island."

Chu Xiangqian was moved, but then he thought, if they really followed him for three to five years, not to mention how deep the relationship would be, at least he would not be willing to let them get married again at that time.

In this way, wouldn't he be able to support them for the rest of his life?

It's better to treat it as a good deed and spend some time with yourself while you are in Tianzhu.

When I returned to Hong Kong Island, I forgot about it.

"How much do their dowries cost?"

Linda and Alyssa naturally knew what Chu Xiangqian was thinking, but they did not dare to refute Chu Xiangqian's decision.

I can only say honestly, "You can prepare a decent dowry with two to three thousand pounds."

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but think of the news he had read on the Internet decades later, that the average dowry for Tianzhu's daughter when she married was between 6 and 13 US dollars.

Converted to today's prices, it's about US$3,000 to US$6,000.

Two to three thousand pounds is equivalent to 8 to 1.2 US dollars at this time, which is far above the average.

The dowry will indeed be very decent.

Just when he was about to agree to give Linda and Alyssa face, Linda rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "My dear, otherwise, we don't ask them to follow you.

How about simply taking them to Hong Kong Island to help me, and how about we pay them wages? "

Chu Qianqian was stunned and instantly understood what Linda meant.

Since he didn't want to accept the sisters, Linda, as his cousin, might as well take them to Hong Kong Island to work.

In three to five years, it may not be easy to earn three to five thousand pounds by yourself, but it is not difficult at all to support yourself.

This has the same meaning as Linda's unwillingness to marry casually and go out to work hard on her own.

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection to this.

Anyway, Linda is responsible for the light industrial products exported to Tianzhu and the grain imported from Tianzhu to Hong Kong Island and then to China.

She asked two cousins ​​to go to Hong Kong Island to help her, and Chu Xiangqian felt more at ease.

One is the relationship between relatives, who are generally more trustworthy than outsiders.

Secondly, Lina and Liya went to Hong Kong Island. They were unfamiliar with the place and could only rely on Linda, Alyssa, and her brother-in-law.

Thirdly, just some assistant work can also reduce Linda's workload. Let her focus more on the police force.

Seeing Chu nodding forward, Linda and Alyssa looked happy, secretly thinking that they would go to Hong Kong Island and let Lina and Liya dress up, so that they might be able to win the favor of their men one day.

As for why they insist on giving women to their men, in Linda and Alyssa's hearts, they have seen many men marry multiple wives since they were young, so naturally they don't care much about it.

The night passed quickly. Chu Xiangqian didn't touch Lina and Liya, but he forgot to let them leave the small building.

So in the eyes of Linda's relatives, the sisters were already Chu Xiangqian's.

After Chu Xiangqian found out, he couldn't help but glared at Linda and Alyssa, but they just lowered their heads and covered their mouths and snickered, which made Chu Xiangqian have no choice but to forget it.

After three days of traveling around the Hajak family's manor and small town, Chu Xiangqian naturally would not forget the purpose of coming to Tianzhu this time.

When Linda and Alyssa said they wanted to take him to temples and other attractions, Chu Xiangqian naturally agreed.

Taking Zhang Tianzhi, Zhou Bili, Tony Jia, four servants from the Hajak family and sisters Lina and Liya to the capital of Odisha, Chu Xiangqian simply spent US$4800 to buy three Jaguar cars.

Having your own car makes it a lot more convenient, and the new car is much more comfortable than the old car that Hajak's family has used for several years.

After spending three days in Odisha, the team unknowingly was not far from the neighboring state of Andhra Pradesh.

But what Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that the road conditions in the central state of Tianzhu were far from good as expected. And the closer to the middle, the poorer it becomes.

The four Hajak servants repeatedly warned that it was never a good idea to travel far away, and even across the state, with so many female dependents.

Chu Xiangqian instantly remembered that in the future news, it was said that Tianzhu was a powerful and treacherous country.

Although I am not afraid, if one of the four women is not good, something will happen.

He could only turn around and go back to the Hajak family's manor.

Chu Qianqian then thought about it. At most, he would be tired and take Linda and the others back to Hong Kong Island.

As an excuse for a business trip, he first flew to Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, and then used his Peruvian identity to fly directly to Kerala in southwest Tianzhu.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, Chu Xiangqian stayed there honestly for half a month.

During this period, Qian Guotai reported the second batch of orders for bicycles, radios, watches, and rice to his superiors, while he dealt with business matters on Hong Kong Island and accompanied his wife.

As expected, it only took three days for the superiors to reply and say that these 11 tons of rice must be obtained.

As for the second batch of light industry orders, they will naturally continue.

He also said that when he returns to the capital, the big leaders will treat him to a meal.

Chu Qianqian said that he would just forget about eating so as not to disturb the leader's work, but he was very happy in his heart.

By the time he showed up in Kerala, it was already May.
